Free Google Rank Checker
Check where your site ranks on Google for any keyword, in seconds. Pick a country, city and device. Free, with no sign-up.
This free Google rank checker shows where your website ranks on Google for any keyword you choose. Enter the keyword and your domain, pick a country, city and device, and the tool scans the top 30 Google results and tells you your exact position. There is nothing to install, and you do not need to sign up or enter a card.
Rankings change with location and device, which is why a keyword rank checker that lets you set both gives you a number you can trust. Searching Google yourself shows you the page you see, not the one your customers see.
How to check your Google ranking with this rank checker
Three steps, no account.
Enter a keyword and your site
Type the keyword you want to check (for example “running shoes”) and your site's domain (for example example.com). You do not need to add https:// or www.
Pick a device, country and city
Choose desktop, mobile or tablet, then a country and, if you like, a city. Google's results change with each of these, so the check matches what your customer actually sees.
Find your Google rank
The top 30 Google results are scanned. If your site is there you get its position with its title and description; if it is not, the result says so and shows who ranks above.
What you get with this free keyword rank checker
This is the single-keyword, free version of the scan SerpBeats runs for daily rank tracking.
Live Google results
Your position is fetched from Google when you run the check, not read from an old record.

What is a Google rank checker?
A Google rank checker is a tool that finds the position of a website in Google's search results for a keyword. It reads the results Google shows for that search, looks for your domain and reports where it appears. It answers one question: for this keyword, in this place, on this device, where am I?
Because it reads the results for you, a rank checker is more reliable than searching yourself, and quicker than going through pages of results by hand. It is also called a website ranking checker, keyword position checker or SERP checker.
How do I check my Google ranking?
Enter the keyword as your customers would type it, add your domain, choose the device, country and city that matter to you, and run the check. Write the result down with the date and the settings you used, so you can compare it with the next one.
For a longer explanation, including four methods compared (searching yourself, Google Search Console, a free checker and a rank tracker), see the guide.
How to check your Google ranking, accuratelyWhy does my own search show a different position?
Google does not show everyone the same list. Results can change with the searcher's location, device, language setting and even their earlier searches, so the position you see in your own browser can differ by a few places from the rank checker's.
This tool runs a non-personalised search using the country, city and device you choose. The result comes from those conditions rather than your own history, so it can be compared again and again.
Why check mobile and desktop rankings separately?
Google evaluates pages primarily through their mobile versions, and the mobile results page is laid out differently from desktop. It is entirely possible to be third on desktop and seventh on mobile for the same keyword.
If most of your customers search on their phones, mobile is the position that matters. The device option lets you see both and decide which to prioritise.
City-level rankings for local SEO
For searches like “barber”, “lawyer” or “locksmith”, Google favours businesses close to the searcher. A business that ranks first in London may not appear at all for someone in Manchester.
Choosing a city brings the check closer to what a searcher there sees. Looking at each city you serve gives you a true picture of your local visibility. For where you appear on the map itself, see local SEO tracking.

A rank checker gives you a one-time snapshot, which is right when you want to know where you stand today. A rank tracker checks your keywords on a schedule and keeps the history, which is what you need to see a trend, connect a change to its cause and watch competitors.
Rankings move during the day and shift with every update, so a single reading is only the start. Most people use a checker to start and a tracker to follow.

If your site is not in the top 30 results, it is usually for one of these reasons: the page is not yet indexed by Google, its content does not match the intent of the search, stronger competitors hold the keyword, or the page has a technical problem that keeps it from ranking.
A rank tracker alongside a site audit helps you tell these apart: the tracker shows how you move, and the audit finds what holds the page back.
Where should I start to improve my ranking?
Start with the keyword's intent: look at the first page and see whether Google shows guides, product pages or category pages. If your page is a different type, rethink the page before writing more content.
Then sharpen the title and description, link to the page from related pages, improve its speed and mobile experience, and earn links from trusted sites. Recheck your position in the same conditions after each change so you can see what worked.
